Genes affected

DOK7 (HGNC:26594): (docking protein 7) The protein encoded by this gene is essential for neuromuscular synaptogenesis. The protein functions in aneural activation of muscle-specific receptor kinase, which is required for postsynaptic differentiation, and in the subsequent clustering of the acetylcholine receptor in myotubes. This protein can also induce autophosphorylation of muscle-specific receptor kinase. Mutations in this gene are a cause of familial limb-girdle myasthenia autosomal recessive, which is also known as congenital myasthenic syndrome type 1B. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.004%). Predicted Consequence/Location: The majority of the known disease-causing variants of this gene are variants expected to result in premature termination of the protein. In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product [REVEL: 0.86 (>=0.6, sensitivity 0.68 and specificity 0.92); 3Cnet: 0.92 (>=0.6, sensitivity 0.72 and precision 0.9)]. Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000560991 /PMID: 22661499). Therefore, this variant is classified as Likely pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Variant summary: DOK7 c.481G>A (p.Gly161Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the IRS-type PTB domain (IPR002404) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-05 in 250800 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in DOK7 causing Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome (4e-05 vs 0.0014), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.481G>A has been reported in the literature in at least two compound heterozygous individuals affected with clinical features of Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome (e.g., Cossins_2012, Herman_2021). At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. AChR clustering assays demonstated the variant results in a significant reduction in the number of clusters when compared to wild type. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 22661499, 33146414). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 560991). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 161 of the DOK7 protein (p.Gly161Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs758131044, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with congenital myasthenic syndrome (PMID: 22661499, 33146414). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 560991). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt DOK7 protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects DOK7 function (PMID: 22661499). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
